Men's Basketball Tops UCLA With Three-Point Party 84-66

With solid defensive play and red-hot shooting from behind the arc, ASU (14-8, 5-4) left no doubt Thursday night as they routed UCLA (12-11, 5-5) 84-66. Alonzo Verge Jr. led the way with 26 points, including knocking all three of his shots from downtown. It marks the first four-game win streak over UCLA in Sun Devil history.

Thanks to an 11-1 spurt to finish the half, ASU went into halftime with a 39-28 lead after shooting 8-of-10 from three.

ASU did not look back as they kept raining three after three. Rob Edwards, Kimani Lawrence, and Khalid Thomas all made three shots of their own from behind the arc as well. In total, ASU made 14 three-pointers, which is the most three pointers ASU had hit since December 10, 2017, when the Sun Devils beat Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse.
 
Romello White chipped in as well with eight points and 16 rebounds, just one short of his career best (17 on 12/14/19 vs. Georgia). ASU's bench outscored UCLA's bench 35-17.
